I started this tank I while ago, but after going through a period of neglect this tank is back on track and is doing great. I set it up a while ago, but haven't really taken many pictures nor kept track of the progress cause it got ugly, now it is somewhat good.

I tried to do this tank on a smaller budget, it turned out pretty good, but now I know why some people on my other forum are crazy for ADA Aquasoil. Anyways I will try to keep this thread updated and try to check up and see if any one has a question about anything.

Nope, thats why I put everything up top lol. Its the Zoo Med 501, rated for "30" gallons but for turtles, which means a tank that is usually half empty so for fish they say it is rated for 15 gallons. Most bettas would probably struggle if they are not healthy, are anything but plakat, or are weak swimmers. I will honestly be screwed if I had to get a new one because I would have to find a way to reduce the flow I have gotten him to do good in current, so without some modifying I would say no for use in small tanks. It would be great for 10 gallons, but remember it must be on the same level on the tank, so have room on the stand or make something because it can't go below.

I have noticed that my betta is not that aggressive towards the amano, even when he was in the cup looking at it. I haven't housed any shrimp in this tank and he flares at my finger and phone, so I may try to get some cherry shrimp if I can find them cheap or from a member of SFBAAPS.
I need to cut the leaf that is blocking the view, it is out of place and doesn't look good. You can also see I am getting a new leaf.
